Xtreme Surge Protector

The Philips Xtreme Surge Protector I is designed

exclusively for use in insulation Class I outdoor

luminaires.

Types of surge protection devices

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

standard IEC/EN61643-11:2011 recognizes three types

of surge protection devices.

Type 1

• Type 1 is recommended in specifically for service-

sector and industrial buildings.

• The device is protected by a lightning protection

system or a mesh cage. It protects electrical

installations against quasi-direct lightning strikes.

• Type 1 is characterized by a 10/350 µs current

wave.

Type 2

• Type 2 is a common protection system for all

low-voltage electrical installations. Installed in an

electrical switchboard, this device prevents the

spread of spikes and transients in electrical

installations and protects the loads.

• Type 2 is characterized by an 8/20 µs current

wave.

Type 3

• Type 3 is characterized by a combination of

voltage waves (1.2/50 µs) and current waves

(8/20 µs) and is intended mainly for local

protection of sensitive equipment.

The Philips Xtreme Surge Protector I is classified as a

Type 3 product.

Compatibility with other products

The Philips Xtreme Surge Protector can be used in

combination with various electronic control gears for

different lamp types (e.g. LED, HID and fluorescent

lamps). It adds additional surge protection to a gear

which has its own built-in surge protection.

In this design-in guide the focus will be only on LED

applications.

Challenge for Outdoor lighting

Outdoor luminaires are used in various types of

applications, such as street and road lighting, parking

areas and tunnels. In many of these installations

there is a risk of extreme surges (e.g. those caused by

lightning strikes).

A direct hit will most likely destroy the electrical

components in a luminaire. Even an indirect hit near

the lighting installation might cause severe damage.

Charge is built up between the cloud and earth, until

the potential difference between cloud and earth is

high enough to initiate a lightning strike. Following

the strike, the charge on the luminaire is returned

from the luminaire via line & neutral back to the

cloud (red line) since current always flows in a closed

loop back to its origin.

A voltage between the L and N terminals of the driver

(differential mode) as well as between the driver

terminals and the luminaire (common mode) is being

built up and an electrical breakdown between mains

wiring and the luminaire will occur.

The resulting surge voltage and surge current of this

electrical breakdown can reach critical levels which

can destroy the driver and/or LED module. The path

of the surge current can go through the LED module

and the driver (shown in the red line) or through the

driver only as shown in third figure on the left.

Alternatively, in a TT distribution system where an

insulation Class I luminaire is applied, a lightning

strike at some distance may cause high common

mode energy surge on the mains lines where the

local earth connection forms the return path. In that

situation, a high common mode voltage will stress

the driver and LED module.

Surge protection as solution

A reliable way to increase the outdoor luminaire

protection against excessive surges is to use the

Philips Xtreme Surge Protector.

The Xtreme SPD will limit the differential and

common mode surge voltage build-up inside the

luminaire while at the same time offering a diversion

path with a lower breakdown voltage. The energy of

the voltage surge is returned as a surge current, via

the Xtreme SPD, to ground and eventually back to

the cloud. As such, it will protect both the driver and

LED module against damaging surge stress. See

figure on the left.

The Xtreme SPD has to be connected to the

protective earth connection of the luminaire.

Please refer to Electrical design for more

information.

Casing

The Philips Xtreme Surge Protector I is suitable for

use in all outdoor Insulation Class I luminaires.

Thermally protected Voltage Dependent Resistors

(VDR) and surge arresters are used internally for

surge protection. The design assures good thermal

stability of the Xtreme SPD over lifetime and a low

case temperature even if the device is used beyond

its end of life.

The Xtreme SPD has been tested for thermal stability

and is compliant with standards IEC/EN61643-11.

Installation

The Xtreme SPD is released as a built-in device and

is intended for mounting inside a luminaire. Remote

mounting of the Xtreme SPD such as in a pole or

switching cabinet is not recommended sinceit may

reduce its surge protection effectiveness and it may

be subject to ingress of water and dirt.

On the label you will find an arrow indicating the

mounting position of the product. It is important to

mount the device with the connection terminals

facing downward to prevent any damage resulting

from water entering the product.

CAD drawings

3D CAD drawings are available on

www.philips.com/technology or available

via your local sales representative.

SPD connections

The Xtreme Surge Protector is equipped with push-in

connectors and will accept both solid-core and

stranded wires. For more wiring details please check

the datasheet.

The SPD should be connected as illustrated on the

left in order to achieve optimal surge protection.

Failure indicator

The Xtreme SPD is equipped with an optical failure

indicator by means of a green indicator light. If mains

voltage is applied and the indicator light is off then

the Xtreme SPD needs to be replaced.

The initial common mode clamping voltage U1has an

extreme short duration (approx. 100 ns) and will be

completely absorbed by the driver; it will not result

in significant surge stress to the connected LED

module and can be ignored.

• Before installation or maintenance, switch off the

power

• Avoid touching live parts

Wiring

Achieving the specified protection levels on page 10

is possible if:

• incoming mains wires are routed first to the

Xtreme SPD and from there on to the driver input.

• mains wires between the Xtreme SPD and driver

are kept as short as possible.

• ground wire between the Xtreme SPD and the

luminaire housing / LED module heatsink is kept

as short as possible.

It is therefore not recommended to remotely mount

the Xtreme SPD such as in a pole or remote

distribution box. In cases remote mounting is the

only option, it is necessary to perform additional

measurements in the luminaire to define the

maximum achievable protection levels.

When connecting the Xtreme SPD, it is strongly

advised to adhere to the following EMC guidelines:

• keep all wires short

• keep wiring loop areas small

• ensure that mains wires are kept separate from

low-voltage signal circuit wires.

Respecting these rules, will minimize the distance

and wire length between the Xtreme SPD and the

mains voltage entry point.

Insulation Class I and Class II luminaires

The main differences between an insulation Class I

and insulation Class II luminaire are about its failsafe

construction with respect to electrical safety.

In a Class I luminaire, electrical safety is achieved by

a combination of basic insulation between live parts

and accessible parts and establishing a protective

earth connection (PE) to accessible parts (luminaire

housing). Luminaire insulation strength is based on

basic system insulation requirements.

A Class II luminaire does not have a protective earth.

In this case, electrical safety is achieved by providing

double or reinforced insulation which are subject to

elevated insulation strength requirements.

Per IEC60598-1: 2014 paragraph 4.10.4 the double or

reinforced insulation in a (Class II) luminaire between

live and accessible parts is allowed to be bridged

only by a resistor and/or capacitor. By design, the

Xtreme Surge Protector I does not meet this

requirement.

Therefore, the Xtreme Surge Protector I is not

suitable for design-in in an Insulation Class II

luminaire.

Wiring in an insulation Class I luminaire

be connected in the luminaire as shown below.

Incorrect wiring

If the Xtreme SPD is not wired correctly then it will

not be able to protect up to the specified protection

levels and damage to the luminaire may result.

Examples of incorrect wiring include:

• Installing unprotected wires (wires which are not

routed through the Xtreme Surge Protector) in

parallel with the protected output wires of the

driver

• Crossing of mains and output wires, mains and

output wires bundled together.

• Crossing of unprotected and protected wires

• Not connecting the input and output wires as a

star point to the SPD

• Unnecessary long wiring between the SPD and

the driver.

• Unnecessary long ground wiring between the

SPD and protective earth or luminaire chassis.

Fusing and mains power distribution system

Standard outdoor applications require fusing to

protect the installation. Fusing above 20 A is not

allowed when applying the Xtreme SPD. Lower fusing

values are allowed but may require shorter fusing

servicing intervals since lower fusing values can

handle less surge events before tripping.

The SPD has an extremely low power consumption

and does not impact the inrush current so luminaire

fusing is not affected by the Xtreme SPD.

In a TN mains power distribution system the neutral

conductor (N) is connected to the earthed star point

of a distribution transformer and is either connected

to the star point via a separate conductor (TN-S) or it

is (partly) combined with the protective earth

conductor (TN-C, TN- C-S). The Protective Earth (PE)

wire is also connected to the same star point and

part of the distribution wiring to the end user.

In a TT mains power distribution system, the PE

conductor is not part of the distribution wiring to the

end user. Protective earth is locally sourced at the

end user by means of an earth pin.

In an IT mains power distribution system, the star

point of the distribution transformer is isolated from

earth. The N and PE conductors are not wired to the

end user. The end user has to source a local earth

conductor if needed.
